Cons erv at ion of R·: ··... L lntroductic)n I. INTRODUCTION History and General Background Walter Library, completed in 1928, was designed to serve ; the general library for the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus. It filled that role until 1968 when the Humanities and Social Science Collections were moved into the newly constructed 0. Meredith Wilso~ i.ibrary on the West Bank of the Minneapolis campus. Following this move, Walter Library continued to support the Education and Psychology Library, the Library Science Collection along with the Childrens' Literature Research Collection, the University Archives, and the Social Welfare Archives. Over the years, ·1e Chemistry and Mus~ Libraries and the Learning Resource Center were also moved into Walter Library. When Ferguson Hall was built to house the School of Music, the Music Library moved into new quarters in that building. In 1985, the Engineering, Geo1ogy, and Physics Libraries were consolidated with the Chemistry Library to form the Science and Engineering Library. The Charles Babbage Institute for the History of Information Processing is located in Walter Library. There are a number of non-library units which are housed on the basement, first, third and fourth floors of Walter Library. Planning is underway for a new facility for the University Libraries that will provide a new home for the archives and special collections of the libraries as well as meeting the collection overflow needs of all the - 1 - libraries on the Twin Cities campus. In the course of time, the Children 1 s Literature Research Collection, the University Archives, the Social Welfare History Archives and the Babbage Institute will be moved out of Walter Library into this new facility. Walter Library will continue to house the Science and Engineering Library, the Education and Psychology Library, and the Learning Resource Center. The offices of the University Librarian are planned to be moved to Walter Library in the near future. Although Walter Library has not officially been designated an historic building, it has architectural importance for the campus because of the exceptional beauty and detail in the reading rooms and public spaces. It is one of nine buildings which were built to realize a design for the East Bank Mall developed by Cass Gilbert. Assessment of Current Status and Needs In its present condition, Walter Library suffers from a number of serious deficiencies that not only prevent it from serving its proper role as an efficient and convenient major university library but compromise both the safety of its users and that of its collections. Foremost is the question of fire safety. Typical of library buildings in the early part of the twentieth century, Walter Library has a stack tower designed with the book stacks as the structural element of the tower. The design makes very efficent use of the available storage volume in the tower. Since the stack tower is essentially one large room, with no con tinuous flooring at any of the levels, the tower holds the potential for catastrophic loss of life and collections in the event of a fire. - 2 - In the absence of adequate control of temperature and humidity within the stack tower and other parts of the building, the collections are subjected to environmental extremes which are hastening their deterioration. In cer tain seasons of the year and in certain parts of the building, the users and staff face considerable discomfort. A third deficiency is the inadequacy of sui_ le study space in the library and the awkwardness of certain parts of the library for the user. The total amount of seating for study is insuff 1 cient, and a suitable mix of different types of seating is absent. The ~k of conveni~·~ user work space close to the collections in the stack tower is partic~larly acute. The stack tower was designed to be used only by staff and a select set of users. The limited stack entrancr~. the narrow passages and stairways, the inadequate elevator, the undepend lighting system, and the difficulty of keeping one 1 S orientation within :tacks all contribute to the users 1 inconvenience. A fourth important deficiency is the 1nadequate provision for modern tech nological developments in electronic data handling. There is insufficient provision of electrical power and the communication lines needed to support such equipment. Goals and Principles for the Renovation The University is committed to maintaining and developing its role as a major teaching and research institution. In addition, President Hasselmo has given particular emphasis to the enhancement of undergraduate educa tion. Central to these functions of the Univ' sity is a first-rate - 3 - library, not only in regard to the size and quality of its collections but also in the adequacy and quality of the study areas and services it pro vides, the convenience and efficiency of its use, and the incorporation of technological developments needed to maintain its capabilities at the forefront. To these ends, the renovation of Walter Library is to be guided by the following goals and principles, which are discussed in more detail in sub sequent sections of the facility program: 1) The creation of a first-rate modern university library to serve the study and research needs of students and faculty in the areas of science and engineering and of education and psychology. Services to the wider community of users in these areas must also be taken to account. 2) The protection of the collections from fire, smoke, adverse temperature and humidity, excessive light, air pollution, theft, and abuse. 3) The provision of well-organized shelving for collections of adequate size and rates of growth. 4) Provision for the comfort and well-being of the users in an atmosphere conducive for study; the provision of adequate amounts and types of study space for the student and faculty populations to be served, taking into account the needs of persons with disabilities. 5) Convenience and simplicity of use of the library, in regard to both self-directed use and use needing the assistance of library personnel. 6) Facilitation of the browsing of new books and current journal litera ture by subject area. - 4 - 7) Provision for up-to-date and future electronic data and information handling equipment. 8) Provision of adequate and well-organized space and facilities for library staff and for efficient operation of the library. 9) Preservation of the architectural integrity of the building. 10) Provisions for library services to continue during the renovation. Particular attention is called to the increasing role that electronic information handling equipment (Item 7) is expected to play in the func tioning of the library in the future. As essential component of this proj ect will be the provision of a major upgrade of the electrical power and communication services within the building needed to support such equip ment. These services must be provided with the flexibility needed to cope with a rapidly developing and changing scene. In conclusion, the goal of this project is to take a grand old library building, one with major deficiencies and which is seriously out-of-date, and produce a fully modern first-class library while preserving the basic form and ito. Hy of the building. Moreover, it will be necessary to carry out this project with the library remaining in service. It is clear that this pro:~ will call for great ingenuity and sound judgement and will provide a significant challenge to the architect, the University, and the contractor. $2,120,000 was provided for planning the renovation by the Legislative appropriation in 1989. Current plans call for the University to request full funding from the Legislature during the 1992 session. - 5 - II. Role of Walter Lit,rary II. ROLE OF WALTER LIBRARY Mission and Objectives Walter Library hot two major component libraries, the Science and Engineering Library and the Education and Psychology Library. It is the mission of the Science and Engineering Library to support the teaching and research programs of the Institute of Technology, a major component of the University. Twenty percent of the students enrolled on the Twin Cities campus are Institute of Technology students. The Science and Engineering Library also serves the local, state, and regional scientific and technical research communities, by providing tech nical information resources. As a result of increased involvement by the Institute of Technology in state and local technology transfer initiatives, particularly in the area of high technology, the Library has strengthened its programs and services in this area. Similarly, the mission of the Education and Psychology Library is to sup port the teaching and research of the Psychology Department and the College of Edu~. •ion, both of which also play an important role in the state and the region. The University of Minnesota 1 s Psychology Department is ranked among the top five in the nation. The College of Education is in the pro cess of redirecting its educational mission to concentrate on the five year baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate degree programs. The combined teaching and research demands of these two academic units require high quality collections and information services. - 6 - The following table summarizes the principal clientele groups for whom Walter Library provides support: Table 1. Numbers of Primary Clientele Actual for 1989 FYE Student Count (Undergraduate and Graduate) 10,908 FTE Faculty 645 Projected for 1994 FYE Student Count (Undergraduate and Graduate) 11,639 FTE Faculty 736 It should be kept in mind that the University Libraries are, as a matter of University policy, open for all to use. Researchers from other academic institutions, members of the business community, and the general public are welcome to use the libraries collection and facilities. Table II summarizes the Science and Technology and Education and Psychology Collections which will be housed in Walter Library: Table II 1989 1994 Catalogued Volumes 560,500 700,625 - 7 - Maps 80,000 104,500 Microfiche 550,000 675,000 Microfilm 6,000 7,500 The collections are expected to grow beyond the 1994 projections by an additional 300,000 volumes. The fact that this projection will exceed the space available in the stack tower does not suggest that the acquisition rate will be decreased but rather it points to the desirability of culling, from time to time, the little used and out-dated materials from the Walter Library collections and moving them into the new overflow facility. Library Services and Staff Walter Library is open for a total of 122 hours per week throughout the year. The staff offers a variety of services to complement the extensive collections. Highly skilled librarians provide reference assistance and online computer literature searching of hundreds of databases is available for on-campus and off-campus clientele. The Science and Engineering Library's fee-based information service and document delivery service to business and industry is an active and valued service, especially for those researchers whose schedule will not permit time to visit the library in person. The staff in the Science and Engineering Library and the Education and Psychology Library consists of fourteen professional, seventeen Civil Service staff, and 20.8 FTE of student support. The University Libraries plan to locate the offices of the University Librarian in Walter Library -8- which will add an estimated ten professionals, nine Civil Service staff, and four FTE of student support staff. It is expected that the staff will grow by an additional 25% over the twenty year period from 1994 to 2014. - 9 - Ill. Minnesota Facilities Model Application III. MINNESOTA FACILITIES MODEL APPLICATION The Minnesota Facilities Model, (MFM) represents a systematic method for evaluating the need, condition and use of University facilities. The objectives of implementing the model are twofold: 1. To provide guidelines which will accurately express the space require ments of the University. 2. To shape the guidelines into tools most appropriate for assessing the utilization of University facilities. The MFM is structured into four major components. The Inventory Component contains the University's Space Inventory System, which records the current assignment and usage of all University facilities. The physical condition and program suitability of the University's existing facilities are evalua ted in the Qualitative Component. Program elements (e.g. number of stu dents, faculty and staff) which generate or predict space needs are identified and defined in the Predicator Component. Finally, the Guideline Component contains the various space standards and allowances which provide the means for translating program activity into physical space. The model is used to define and justify the size of a proposed facility and to guide the design of its component parts. Use of the model for assessing existing utilization levels take into account inefficiencies resulting from architectural restraints and diverse operating policies and procedures. The MFM is an analytic tool accepted by the University of Minnesota as a means of managing and planning the facility needs of the institution. - 10 - The application of the MFM to the projections for the program requirements in 1994 of the libraries which will be housed in Walter Library gives the following results: Study Space Required: 72,000 asf Allows for: 20% of the 11,639 FYE student count 10% of the 736 FTE faculty count at 30 asf per station Collection Space Required: 59,900 asf Allows for: 700,625 catalogued volumes - 58,585 asf 104,500 maps - 968 - 675,000 microfiche - 161 asf 7,500 microfilm- 156 asf Staff/Service Projection: 26,300 asf Based on 20% of the combined Study and Collection Projections combined. - 11 - IV. Facility Requirements IV. FACILITY REQUIREMENTS Design Principles The overall goal of the renovation is to enable Walter Library to become a first-class modern research library. To do so, the renovation must correct serious and long standing life-safety concerns and alleviate the potential for catastrophic loss of life and collection in case of fire, and inade quacy of suitable study space and the lack of sufficient, and flexible pro vision for modern electronic information handling. The renovation must also respect 0nd enhanro the original architecture of the building. In keeping with the goals and principles in the Introduction, the renova tion is to be guided bv the following design principles: 1) The renovation must enable Walter Library, to the greatest extent possible, to meet current library building standards. 2) The renovation shall maximize the space providef ~or the projected needs of the library's primary clientele by the ~~nnesota Facilities Model to the greatest degree possible. 3) ~3lter lib~~ry must be a safe and hospitable er~ironment for the ccJlections it houses, for the users it serves, and for its staff. The collections must be protected from fire, adverse temperature and humidity, excessive light, air pollution, theft, and abuse. Personal safety, security, and comfort must also be addressed. 4) Walter library must provide a high-quality research and study environ ment. This requires spaces which are well-lit, comfortable, quiet, and - 12 - well-distributed throughout the building. It is particularly important that a significant quanity of the seating for users be in close proxi mity to the book stacks. It is also important that an appropriate mix of seating be provided, including a high percentage of individual seating at carrels and study tables, lounge seating, and in spaces designed for group study. 5) The organization of Walter Library must promote efficiency and ease of operation, both for the users and for the staff. The building should be made as architecturally self-explanatory as possible so that the user can find staff, collections, and services with a minimum of need for directional signs. Careful attention should be paid to the original design of the building and maximum advantage of the original arrangement of the building should be taken. Priority should be given to the clustering of the public services of the library (reference, access, reserve, etc.) on the second floor of the building which was originally designed to be the public service center of the building. 6) The renovation must provide for the large increase in the use of electronic information-handling equipment that is anticipated in the future. At present such equipment includes terminals and other equip ment for online catalog and other database searching. It also included personal computers which support word processing, both by users and staff. The infrastructure of the building must be upgraded to support current and, as yet undefined, future needs for electrical and data communication service. - 13 - 7) The renovation must respect, preserve and enhance the architectural integrity of the building to the fullest extent possible, both inside and outside the building. It is expected that th, ·ubies, main r;rri dors and public stairs on the first and second floors will be restored to their original appearance. The same is true of the all large n r:g rooms. ~lodern lighting, library seating, service desks, and book shelving requirements should be met with solutions which are comparablewith the restored appearance. 8) The renovation phasing must be planned and carried out to allow for contin~ed access to the collections throughout the construction pro cess. Library services will also continue in operation throughout the construction. In particular, the construction must be managed so there is no threat to the collections from fire or other hazards. Reasonable and logical divisions of the building and necessary construction must be provided allowing specific sections of the building to be renovated, while the remaining sections are in operation. In carrying out the design within the spirit and intent of these prin- ciples, the architect is asked to give careful ntion to the existing interrelationships between the functions and serv1ces of the L ~~~ry. These relationships are described in subsequent parts of this section. At the same time, the architect is encouraged to look critically at all of these patterns and assumptions and to propose innovative solutions to the difficult problems posed by the renovation. It is essential that close communication be maintained with the University 1 s Office of Physical Planning and with the Walter Library Renovation Building Advisory Committee during all stages of planning. - 14 - Space Considerations Table IV shows the current usage of space in Walter Library: Table IV CURRENT WALTER LIBRARY SPACE ASSIGNMENTS Reading Study 21,887 asf Stack 96,805 asf Staff/Service Space 30,681 asf Non-library Assignments 19,783 asf Total 169,156 asf Of this total, there are 14,112 asf located in the sub-basement, currently occupied by the University Archives. Currently, it is not suitable for future library use. A large number of mechanical and electrical lines run through this space and it is adjacent to existing mechanical areas on this floor of the building. The feasibility of using this space to meet all or part of the need for additional mechanical space should be examined care fully. There remains a total of 155,044 asf within the present Walter Library building which might be considered for library use. This total falls short of the requirements presented in the MFM Section. Further, it must be recognized that Table IV includes space which will only become available when the archives and special collections are relocated to the proposed - 15 - Fourth Floor -nwd=~-~-, fr m; fma. llo~-., IOf A&l First Aoor -~_;_.. ~ __L·-· ~~::~. .:.;;sQ BBMment gog . 4795 ASF -OMSSA 111 EDl.ICATONAL OEvaOPt-JENT 2098 ASF ~o oevaOPt-JENT & FOl.Nli [1J V 1>_ .tCADEI.tC AFFARS 1370 ASF II LNveRsrrv COLLEGE 522 ASF mt.EOEVAl STU:lES lOBe ASF D NON-ASSI:'.,!-IEQ SPACE 08.0!12 GSF £2] rr A~STRATON 3563 ASF ~ OFFICE OF SPACE PlA~ AI>D MANAGEJvENT 1'9891, Walter Library Current Soace Asslanments.

Collection 4, 798 asf Social Welfare History Archives 1,554 asf University Archives 2,168 asf Total 10,566 asf The availability of the new University Libraries facility for archives, special collections, and overflow is an essential component of the planning for Walter Library. Not only is it needed to accommodate the collections listed in Table V, it will accept the overflow from the collections in Walter Library making the stack tower an adequate space for long-term collection support within the constraints of this facility program. It is the intention of the University Libraries to relocate the offices of the University Librarian into Walter Library. These offices are presently ·in Wilson Library and occupy approximately 4,500 asf. Allowance for this relocation should be made in the assignment of space in Walter Library, although it will happen independent of the renovation itself. -17- Specific Design Consjderations This section describes the design needs of each • •egory ot ::tivity in the Library: reader/study, collection storage, reference services, reserve reading, learning resource center, access services, materials processing, biblioc Jhic instruction, University Librarian•s Office, and miscellaneous services. The basis of the project are the design considerations which apply to the entire building regardless of specific prgrammatic function. These are: Installation of a fire protection and alarm system for the whole building, particularly in the stack core. Installation of air conditioning and humidity control throughout the building. The environmental design requirements for the stack core should enable the HVAC system to operate at 72° F +/- 5° F with rela tive humidity at 40% +/- 5%. The remainder of the building should be designed to operate at 72° F +/- 5° F, with relative humidity not more than 50% in the summer months and not less than 20% in the winter season. The remaining existing steam radiation in the building must be replaced. The building shall be equipped with a filtration system for particulate matter, one critical element is the gaseous pollutent sulfur dioxide. It must be reduced to meet the ASHRAE standard of 0.03 PPM. Electrostatic filtration is not acceptable because of the ozone it produces. Installation of an improved electrical and telecommunications support infrastructure throughout the building. This shall include improved -18- il~umination, particularly in the stack core. NOTE: The library must be able to operate as an 11 intelligent 11 building, allowing for com munication both from outside and throughout the building. The location of future telecommunication and electrically supported equipment must be supported by an infrastructure which can support significant expan sion of these services. Evaluation of all exterior building surfaces, including walls, windows and door to improve energy efficiency and reduce operating costs of the building. Passive solar control for the east, south, and west-facing rooms is needed. Upgrading the fire ratings for all interior partitions to the appli cable code requirements for corridors, stairs, storage, maintenance, and mechanical areas is needed. Provide additional exits where occu pancy codes or travel distances exceed building code requirements. Evaluate the Smith/Walter and Johnston/Walter access links to be certain that adequate provision for access is provided to persons with disabili ties. This access review shall include redesign, where needed, of public and stack elevator access to all areas of the building, all levels of the stack core and all programs. Enclose the entire stack core with a two-hour rated construction with direct access to rated stair towers on all levels. Provide the stack core with a combustion detection system, automatic sprinklers, venting, and other code required systems to address the presence of smoke, fumes, or fire in the stack core. -19- Provide compr~hensive and uniform emergency and egress lighting for the entire building. The r;·troom facilities, concentrated on the basement floor, should be increased and distributed better throughout the buildin . Provide general cleaning, patching, painting and restoration of ceiling and wall surfaces. Of particular importance is the work which is required on the ornamental ceilings in the 1arge public reading rooms on the second floor of the building. Asbestos abatement must take place. Replacement of the badly worn and functionally obsolete reader fur nishings will be undertaken by the Physical Planning Office and Library staff. Staff and Service Space Requirements The following ten sections describe individual functions in the library and their facilities requ·irements. They are provided to define and descr'>e the library operations. It is to be used not only for planning the pr:]ect phasing, but for laying out the future operation of this building as an l i br ar y. 1. Reader/Study Space - 72,000 asf The MFM indicates that Walter Library should provide a total of 72,000 asf for this purpose (69,800 asf for undergraduate and graduate study and 2,200 asf for faculty study). The total assignable area of Walter Library is -20- 169,156 asf. If the assignable area in the stack core, the unassignable area in the sub-basement, and the MFM staff/service allowance are deducted from this total, it leaves 48,633 asf with which to meet the 72,000 asf requirement for reader and study spaces. It is recognized that the projec tions of the ~M, which must be accommodated within the existing shell of Walter Library, generate an unattainable requirement for reader/study space. The intention is to require that a creative effort be made to bring Walter Library as close as possible to this reader/study requirement. The study desks, part of the original plan for the stack core, were intended to be assigned for individual study purposes to graduate students. When the stack core was essentially closed to the public, these spaces were more functional than they are now. The high level of user traffic in and out of the stacks make them impossible to use them for quality study. One of the most critical unmet needs in Walter Library is the provision for high quality individual study spaces for both graduate and faculty study needs. The only study spaces of this type on the Minneapolis campus are located in Wilson Library and they are too remote and far too few in number to meet the need on the Minneapolis campus. The renovation of Walter Library must address the need to put well-designed private study spaces back into the building. Having a significant number of these spaces in close proximity to the stacks, as they were originally intended, is important. The arrangement and design of user seating must take personal safety and security into account. Isolated public seating should be avoided. -21- There is also no provision for group st~dy in Walter Library. Group study is a growing technique for assigning library-based projects. The renova tion must address the need for group study spaces designed to support groups of four to six students who need to study together with common materials without disturbing the individual quiet stu·•: going on in other parts of the building. At least one-htird of the lounge seating should be located in spaces speci fically designated for current journal reading. These spaces must be located in reasonable proximity to the bound portions of the journal literature. The purpose of such spaces is to p ide ea~ :d inviting access to the most current library resources. In order to facilitate access by subject clusters, it is not desirable to keep the Education & Psychology and the Science and Engineering current journals in separate arrangements. New book browsing may also be provided for these spaces. The library should provide 2,400 reader stations. It is the recommendation of the Building Advisory Committee that the mix of seating in Walter Library be distributed as follows: 2,000 should be individual stations, 400 at multiple stations. The 400 multiple seat stations should include the group study spaces as well as multiple seat tables in open reading areas. (In no case should there be tables which seat more than six people, four per table is preferred.) The individual seating should be divided as follows: -22- 200 private study carrels - 45 asf/station 300 individual study tables - 25 asf/station 1,300 open study carrels - 30 asf/station 100 lounge seats - 30 asf/station 100 electronic carrels - 40 asf/station Design and selection of all types of seating and user furniture are to take into account the needs of persons with disabilities. The actual number of seats described above is based on the assumption that the number of seats predicted by the MFM is achievable. If the total number of seats which can be realized is less than 2,400, the general distribution ratio of seating types should still be maintained. 2. Collection Space- 75,300 asf Stack Storage - 73,000 asf Non-stack Storage - 1,300 asf The stack core is intended to remain structurally intact and be the main location for the storage of all collections in Walter Library. There are limited exceptions to this principle. The reference collections and the current journal resources will continue to be housed in public spaces where they are readily available both for easy user access and for staff assis tance in the use of the reference and index resources. The projected space requirements for the collections generated by the ~M is 59,949 asf required on the expected date of occupancy. The rate of -23- collection growth in these collections is approximately 14,000 volumes per year (1,200 to 1,400 asf per year). If the entire 73,913 asf in the stack core is made fully usable by this renovation project, it will yield ten or more years of collection growth. This is a reasonable growth allowance because the overflow portion of the new facility will provide the long-term collection growth relief. In addition to the collections in ' )k format, there is a need for an addi tional 1,300 asf to store those materials in non-book format which are not suited to storage in the stack core. These are the microform materials and the substantial map collection in th£ ~ience and Engineering Library. The microforms need to be housed in prox~ y to the equipment provided for their use. The map collection must be noused in proximity to large tables to facilitate consulting map materials. Beyond the general life-safety, egress and environmental problems in the stack core, which will be addressed for the whole building, there are a number of design concerns specific to the stacks. The stack core was originally designed to be operated as a closed-stack area. With only rare exceptions, the only people in the stack were staff who were trained to know their way around. With the decision to open the stacks to the general public, a problem of disorientation faces almost everyone who enters the stacks. It is imperative that the renovation of the stack core address the need for a sense of orientation, regardless of where a person is in the stack core. This is critical if the renovation is to successfully address the life- -24- safety concerns. An improved sense of orientation will also make the collection much easier to use and will eliminate a constant source of frustration for almost all users. Beyond the need for electrical upgrading to support proper illumination throughout the stacks, additional electrical service is needed for photo copiers and additional LUMINA computer terminals on all levels of the stacks. 3. Reference Services - 7,660 asf Science and Engineering - 4,440 asf Education and Psychology - 3,220 asf The overall design of reference services space should be as expandable and as flexible as possible. To the greatest extent possible, the design for reference services should anticipate steadily changing needs, especially in electronic information handling. Plans for the services which support these needs must anticipate that changes and expansion are likely to be frequently required as technology advances. Sensitivity to the particular interrelationships between staff, users, equipment, and collections in the reference area is essential. Reference requires a variety of different kinds of space to support public and private staff work space, conferences and meetings, space for equip ment, and space for the users. The Reference Service areas must be equipped to receive requests in person, by telephone, or by other electro nic means. -25- The m~in reference service points must be in close proximity to the reference tools. Each service point should accommodate two electronic work stations as well as ample undifferentiated space to consult a wide variety of reference books. The service point should be in immediate proximity to the user electronic work stations should facilita~o staff support for the use of electronic information handling. Staff as~ sted database searching should be supported in an acoustically separate area which allows for con sultations to take place between users and staff and supports the equipment necessary for database searching. The work stations should each be designed to minimize noise from printers. They should also provide patrons some measure of privacy and freedom from distractions. The design of the work stations should provide for easy linking with local area networks, the University's computer networks, and general data communication lines. It is possible to cluster these services in an electronic reference research center. It should be located in proxi mity to the reference sc :ce points. While electronic information handling is clearly in the future of reference services, there remain a large number of reference resources in book form. Ample space must be provided for users to easily access these tools. The spaces provided for this kind of reference activity should be acoustically separate from the electronic work stations. Users require frequent assistance in the use of current journal literat - The reference service points should also be in reasonable proximity to the areas where the current journals are housed and used. The indexing tools for the journal literature are housed in the Reference Room. Special facilities for other non-paper media such as microfil~ and micro fiche must be provided. The lighting requirements for comfortable use of projected-image equipment needs to be considered in the design and place ment of these services. The Science and Engineering Library includes a substantial map collection. Assistance in the location and use of map materials is in the Reference Room. The map collection must be housed in reasonable proximity to the Reference area. It must also provide consulting space at large tables for easy map use. A regular part of reference activity is bibliographic instruction. There must be space in the building, not necessarily in immediate proximity to the reference areas, which can support a group of up to 50 individuals com fortably. The room should be designed as a multi-purpose space with sup port for hands-on computer training, facility to project both film and computer images, and a chalk board. This space will also need access to the University computer networks. This room must be flexible enough to accommodate staff training and meeting needs as well. Each professional reference librarian requires a private office. These offices should be in reasonable proximity to the reference rooms. They should be easily accessible to the users. Each office should be fully equipped to support electronic information handling. 4. Reserve Reading - 1,000 asf Reserve Reading is a specialized category of access services which places materials in heavy demand on restricted loan to make them available to the -27- la~esi number of students. This service should be considered for relocc tion to the second floor of W2lter Library, along with the other public services. 5. Learning Resource Center - 8,000 asf Walter Library is the home of the Learning Resource Center (LRC), a non print media service which supports a variety of teaching and learning needs. Historically, the Learning Resource Center was designed to support audio materials designed to be used in conjunction with foreign language study. This is still a large part of its role today, although the range of materials in use has broadened considerably, and it now includes video and other visual media. Non-,· int materials are not restricted to language study. More and more non-print materials are being developed and acquired by the Library every year. The role of the LRC will continue to expand and diversify as tech nology is applied in creative ways to teaching and learning. The LRL is located in Room 15, and is planned to continue in that space. Materials storage space has been exhausted, requiring space in the stack core to be used for LRC storage overflow. Space for improved and expanded mater s storage must be provided in proximity to the LRC. Equipment mainte· :ce and repair is presently supported in several rooms on the third floor. These functions should be relocated in proximity to the other LRC functions in the basement. There is also a broadcast qualit recording studio on the third floor which is operated by the LRC. Because it does not require the same proximity to the LRC and because of the inordinate -28- expense of re-creating this facility elsewhere in the building, it should remain in its present location. 6. Access Services - 3,450 asf Main Circulation Desk - 500 asf 1st Floor Access Services - 175 asf Stack Management - 1,000 asf Staff Offices - 1,080 asf Document Delivery- 775 asf The principal access services point will be the original circulation desk in the second floor lobby. There will continue to be an access services desk inside the entrance to Room 111, on the first floor. The access ser vices functions support the needs to users who wish to take materials for use outside the library. The access services functions are: checking books out to users, receiving them when they are returned, clearing the circulation records, and returning the materials to their proper place in the collection. Much of the work required to support these functions in the spaces described occurred in earlier renovation efforts in Walter Library. By the time this renovation project is underway, the University Libraries will have an automated system for circulating materials in operation. The need for housing large quantities of paper circulation files in close proximity will be significantly reduced, if not completely eliminated. -29- A part of this renovation plan i~ to return Room 204 to public use, as much as possible. This will displace the staff, now housed in Room 204, who manage stack maintenance, materials sorting and staging, ;;nes, and recall. This staff must remain in close proximity to the Circulation Desk, with the exception of the stack maintenance operations which could be decentralized to each individual stack level, much as they were when the building was built. The Libraries maintain two document delivery services. MINITEX and ESTIS. MINITEX provides library materials on request to libraries throughout the State of ~ seta and the neighboring states. ESTIS is a fee-based searching ana document delivery service which serves the local community. Each maintains offices in Walter Library to support the searching and docu ment retrieval operations required to support these services. 7. Materials Processing - 600 asf Even though the acquisitions and cataloging support for the libraries located in Walter Library are based in Wilsor Library, there are a variety of materials processing activities which need to be supported in Walter. The bindery preparation process is closed to the public, although there is a service function which responds to user reque~·; for information about the status of journal r ~terials which are in thr nding cycle. Related to this function, the Library also offers general journal information service to assist patrons in locating these materials. These information services must be directly accessible to the public. The specific office require ments for these functions are included in the schedule of required staff spaces. -30- 8. Bibliographic Instruction - 750 asf Bibliographic instruction has increased dramatically over the past two decades. There are regular credit-courses offered by library professional staff in addition to single class sessions held in the Library to intro duce students to using the literature of their field of study and to orient them to the Library in general. In order to keep Library staff properly equipped to carry out their every day responsibilities~ a continual program of staff training is conducted. Instruction space in Walter Library should be designed to meet this need as we 11 . The forms that this instruction takes have increased in sophistication as well. Appropriately designed library instruction space must be able to support video equipment~ online computer searching~ as well as computer based instruction where a small group of hands-on learners can be trained at individual computer stations. The ability to project information from a computer screen is also essential to this kind of training. 9. University librarian's Office - 3~500 asf The University librarian's Office will be moved from Wilson library to Walter Library sometime in the future. The approximate space requirement for these offices is 3~500 asf. Allowance for this function must be planned in the renovation. 10. Miscellaneous Services - 3~800 asf ACSS Computer laboratory - 1~800 asf -31- Photoduplication Service - 700 asf Building Office - 500 asf Staff Lounge - 300 asf Loading/Receiving Area - 300 asf There are a number of miscellaneGuS services which wi remain in Walter Library. The Academic Computirr Center maintains a computer laboratory for self instructional comput earning. This facility is located on the basement level of the building in Room 9 and is planned to remain in this location. A staffed photoduplication service is operated in Walter Library for on demand copying of library materials. The service supports personal copy requests as well as library material copying so it should be located so as to be accessible both from the main public entrance and within the security perimeter of the bui· ~g in order to facilitate copying materials without the necessity of checking them out. In the event that the relocation of the University Librarian's offices to Walter does not precede the renovation, there will need to be provision made for a building c1 ice. This office serves as the main delivery point for all campus deliv( s and the U.S. Mail. It also serves as a contact point for Physical Plant repair and maintenance requests. A staff lounge must also be maintained in Walter Library. It must have bethroom facilities and limited food storage and preparation facilities. -32- Fcuth Floor Third Floor J .: ir Fr-....- .. ~ ...... ---... " .... __ _ T ! ~ . ;:::=;=: . . - .

SITE Introduction The Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) for the Twin Cities Campus/Minnea polis establishes strategies and guidelines for land use relationships, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, parking, and open spaces to insure the development of a desirable campus environment in which numerous indivi dual facilities are integrally related into a functional whole. This sec tion of the program is intended to facilitate the implementation of the LRDP by addressing site development issues in a manner which achieves the objectives of both the project and of the long range plan. Although the project consists primarily of interior renovation activities, the possible construction of new space for mechanical/electrical needs will have site impacts which must be carefully considered. This site development program will assist detailed project planning and design by: o Identifying campus development objectives established by the LRDP to which this project must respond; o Identifying site development issues which must be addressed by the facility design; o Providing basic site information which will impact the location and design of the facility. LRDP References The modification and/or expansion of Walter Library is not specifically addressed in the LRDP, but several planning directives concerning the area -38- PROJECT LOCATION WALTER LIBRARY RENOVATION PROJECT ·n.rL_rl 200 0 .00 100 University of Minnesota EXHIBIT 1 Minnea olis -39- surrounding the existing library building should be considered in the siting and design of the proposed addition. Briefly surmnarized, the LRDP: 0 Establishes the central mall as an open-space preservation area, prohi biting the encroachment of new development into this important amenity area. 0 Identifies Pleasant Street as a major cross-campus circulation route for pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles. 0 Establishes Pleasant Street as a landscape development zone, encouraging its aesthetic enhancement. 0 Identifies the corridors between Walter Library and adjacent buildings to the north and south (Johnston Hall and Smith Hall) as major east west exterior pedestrian routes which must be maintained. The preceding LRDP references, representing Regent adopted objectives and policies for future campus development, continue to be valid. The applica tion of these directives to the Walter Library Renovation project is discussed in greater detail in the paragraphs that follow. Preservation of the Site The preceding LRDP references emphasize the importance of the Walter Library site. To the east, the library faces the Central Mall, a major campus open space which not only provides a valuable amenity, but has historical and symbolic significance as well. The bold, symmetrical archi tecture and the mature trees which frame the mall combine to create a character which must be preserved. To the north and south of the building, -40- open space corridors extend from the Central Mall, allowing its character to penetrate areas of the campus beyond the mall, and directing views and pedestrian traffic to major campus buildings located west of Pleasant Street. To the west, Walter Li~rary fronts on Pleasant Street, a street which not only is a major cross-campus circulation route, but also serves as a linear open space corridor which interconnects two important precincts of the campus. The Walter Library Renovation Project must respect the existing building and its environment. Construction activities must be conducted in a manner which will avoid damage to the surrounding site. Alterations to the struc ture which will affect the exterior appearance of the existing building and its surrounding environment should be minimized and must be accomplished in a manner which will preserve this valuable campus resource. Building Expansion The project consists primarily of interior renovation which will have limited impact on the surrJunding site. However, preliminary project planning identified a possible need for new space to house additional mechanical and electrical equipment. Considering the ~rominance of the project site as described in the preceding paragraphs, construction of new space must be minimized, and preferrably avoided. Opportunities to convert space within the existing building to accommodate mechanical/electrical needs must be thoroughly investigated. The possibi lity of minimizing mechanical/electrical space needs must also be con sidered. The University is currently investigating the feasiblity of -41- installing a centralized chiller system to provide building air conditioning in a more economical manner in terms of both space allocation in individual buildings and operational costs. If the extension of the chiller loop is feasible within the time frame of this renovation project, its extension should be pursued as an alternative to conversion of existing space, or construction of new space, for mechanical/electrical rooms. -42- . . 8427 JOHNSTON HALJ I I . or OPEN 844.6 L Potentia! below-grade ~XIDarlSI<>n for mech,:nJcal space SMITH HALL 0 PEN • 0 844 4 POTENTIAL EXPANSION AREAS WALTER LIBRARY RENOVATION PROJECT North 0 15 30 60 UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA EXHIBIT 2 -Ll:i- New construction should be considered only if centralized chiller service is not available to this project, and if the amount of space which can be converted within the existing building cannot satisfy the mechanical/ electrical needs. In that case, expansion shall be confined to the construction of below-grade space at the southwest corner of the existing building as illustrated on Exhibit 2 to minimize the loss of landscaped open space. Since the majority of this area is currently surfaced for the service drive, parking, bicycle storage, and entrance walks, below-grade construction will not significantly reduce landscaping capabilities. Because the area is limited in size, multi-level below-grade space should be considered to minimize the amount of surface area impacted by new construction. At the present time, electrical service to Walter Library occurs at the northwest corner of the building. Several electrical feeder lines and two transformer vaults exist at this corner of the site, making major construc tion in this area difficult and expensive. However, a limited amount of below grade construction for the electrical needs of the renovated facility is considered appropriate in this area. Such construction should be accomplished with minimum disruption of the existing landscape. Service General Pick-up and Delivery Service to Walter Library is currently provided by a raised platform at the southwest corner of the building. The existing platform serves general shipping and receiving activities, as well as the solid waste collection -44- function. A freight elevator from the platf~ provides access to the basement and sub-basement only. Materials destined to other levels of the building must follow a circuitous route that includes transfers to other elevators. The renovation project should improve the building's service facilities. A new dock and receiving facility designed to accommodate loading and unloading activities in a weather-protected eGvironment should be provided. In accordance with the LRDP objective of consolidating service points for individual buildings~ the potential of utilizing t Smith Hall receiving dock to serve the library~ either by using existing basement level corridor connection or by extending a new below grade connection~ should be thoroughly studied. Service to Smith Hall and to Walter Library must be maintained during construction If it is determined that service dock specifically for Walter Library must be maintained~ the improved facility should be located near its c ~rent location (southwest corner of building) and be accessibl~ from the existing service drive. A two-bay dock facility will be required. One bay~ for general shipping and receiving~ must be capable of accommodating pickup trucks~ vans~ and stancard-sized straight trucks. The second bay~ dedi cated to waste removal functions~ must include an at-grade enclosure of approximately 6 feet by 8 feet plus maneuvering space for dumpster storage~ and a space of approximately 100 square feet convenient to the dock and ~~ the dock level for storing four 3 foot by 4 foot hampers for recyclable materials. Access for a standard rear-loading trash truck must be accom modated. The facility must be designed and constructed in a manner which -45- will maintain the character of the existing building and the surrounding landscape. Book Depository Access An existing loop drive extending from Pleasant Street provides vehicular access to a book depository at the west side of Walter Library. Although convenient vehicular access to the depository is considered functionally important to the library, the existing drive can be modified if necessary to accommodate other building renovation considerations. If the drop-off area is reconstructed, the revised design must provide convenient, safe vehicular access and must minimize the impact on the landscaped space bet ween Walter library and Pleasant Street. Bicycle Storage Bicycle storage areas exist near the southwest and northwest corners of the existing building. The Library Renovation project shall be responsible for replacing the existing racks at the northwest corner with 25 hoop r@cks in the same location. An additional 10 hoop racks shall be installed at the southwest bike storage area. If the existing hoops are disturbed or displaced by renovation activities, the project shall restore or replace them. Landscape Development The renovation project shall be conducted in a manner which minimizes the disruption of the existing landscape surrounding Walter Library. All plant materials shall be protected during the construction. If any plant -46- materials are disturbed by general construction activities or by building expansion, the project shall relocate or replace them as directed by the Physical Planning Office. Any underground building expansion which extends beyond the limits of currently paved areas must provide sufficient earth cover to sustain healthy turf. At the completion of the renovation activities, this project is responsible for restoration of all disturbed areas of the site, including finish grading, establishment of groundcover, and installation of plant materials and site finishings. Site Utilities Preliminary evaluation of the existing building indicates that it is currently served by all utilities. The adequacy of each utility is subject to review by the consulting design team. The project is responsible for all utility extensions and connections required by the Library Renovation. The project is also responsible for relocating or reconstructing existing utilities disturbed by construction. The location of all existing utilities within and adjacent to the project site are shown on Exhibit 3. The utilities impact analysis, prepared by the Division of Engineering and Architecture, is as follows: Electrical Service The expected renovation will impact the two primary electric services now supplying the building. The existing feeders (Cam 21 and Cam 13x) are loaded to 95% capacity and cannot support this project 1 S expected addi- -47- tional primary load. The project will require the addition of an air magnetic primary power circuit breaker to the Fourth Street substation and a new duct bank from the substation. It should run south along 16th Avenue S.E.~ across University Avenue to an existing manhole. A new duct bank from the manhole at University Avenue and Pleasant Street should run south along Pleasant to a manhole at Scott Hall. A estimated cost of $675~000 for fall 1992 construction is provided for early reference pending detailed design development. Telephone Service The telephone service is currently adequate. The impact of expanded com puter networking within the facility may impact this utility. Water Service A 16" diameter water main is available in Pleasant Street with a 4" diameter water service located near the southwest corner of the building. Fire protection demand is expected to exceed the capacity of the 4" ser vice. Sanitary and Storm Service The existing service is adequate and the renovation should not affect it. Gas Service A 12" diameter gas main is located in Pleasant Street. A 2" diameter ser vice and meter is located near the northwest corner of the building. -48- i~ JOHNSTON HALJ Transformer Vault Transformer 1 Vault WALTER LIBRAR · . or OPEN 844.6 L 84y·.2 • . • 8 4.5 ~------W-~~~ _·844~- G~jj __ _j ••• ·e44.5 .

General Requirements VI. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Conservation of Resources Recognizing its social and economic responsibility, the University has a specific policy that physical facilities be designed with the objective of conserving natural resources, both in initial construction and in opera tion. Adherence to the State of Minnesota and Federal laws, regulations, and guidelines relative to conservation of natural resources, conservation of energy, and the water and air pollution standards is required in the design, construction, and operation of all facilities of the University. Particularly, systems and materials of construction must be selected to minimize consumption of energy resources. Implementing this policy will require careful design of all construction components and systems to effectvely use resources and to balance initial costs versus operating and maintenance costs. Balancing these factors within a fixed budget, will challenge the ingenuity of professional consultants and Unviersity staff. The "University of Minnesota Standards and Procedures for Construction" offers certain specific guidelines and standards. The architect, however, is not to consider these measures limiting and is encouraged to consider other methods of energy and resource conservation and bring them to the attention of the Physical Planning Office. Long Range Development Plan The Regents of the University of Minnesota have adopted in principle the Long Range Development Plan for the Minneapolis campus and have indicated -50- that the strategies enumerated therein will be the basis for all future planning decisions for the campus. It will be the architect's respon sibility to demonstrate that the building plan conforms to and implements the policies and concepts described in the Long Range Developmen: Plans. The design of the facility and its site is to acknowledge and enhance the campus environment, extend and complement circulation patterns, natural features, and existing related facilities. Codes The facility is to be designed and constructed in conformance with the latest amended addition of the Minnesota State Building Code. The archi tect is to ascertain and comply with the applicable codes and requlations, and ANSI All?.l-1986 requirements for access by the disabled. Handicapped Access The University has a legal obligation to make all of its programs accessible to individuals with disabilities. It also has an obligation, when construc ting new facilities or remodeling facilities, to bring them (at a minimum) into compliance with the requirements of the Minnesota State Building Code, the latest addition of the ANSI handicapped access standards, and any specific access-related requirements in the University's "Standards and Procedun:s for Construction" manual. Codes and regulations typically address access into a building, movement within a building, safety features, toilet rooms, and elevators. With the exception of assembly spaces, the codes and regulations are largely silent about what happens at the point of destination. Once a person with a -51- disability has reached the destination (be it work place, laboratory station, or desk) the using department has responsibility for determining how program access is achieved. It is the using department's responsibility to carefully assess the physical accommodations that are needed, as part of the construe- tion project, to make their programs accessible. University Standards The architect is to comply with the latest edition of the "University of Minnesota Standards and Procedures for Construction." If programmed require- ments or other University standards are at variance with codes or regulations, the architect shall nofify the University's Physical Planning Office. Space Utilization The architect, during the course of the design, is to review the square foot- ages previously developed for individual spaces against how the necessary functions can be organized in the space. The intent of this is to adequately meet the functional requirements rather than repetition of a non-functioning existing condition. Reductions or increases in square footage for a parti- cular activity should not be made without the concurrence of the Physical Planning Office. The architect is encouraged to bring to the attention of the Physical Planning Office areas where space can be utilized more fully if various functions can be combined or shared. Project Schedule The projected schedule is for reference. Options and efforts to improve this schedule will be required from the consultant design team, noting that construction funding is not expected until mid-1992. -52- Corr£letion Dates Building Advisory Committee Appointments September 1989 Program Completed July 1990 Central Administration Review July 1990 Architect Selection Process September 1990 Begin Schematic Design November 1990 Regents Approval of Schematic Design June 1991 Design Development Completed January 1992 Construction Documents Completed October 1992 Receive Bids November 1992 Award of Contracts December 1992 Start Construction ,January 1993 Construction Completion June 1995 Project Budget The budget for remodeling is $27,348,000 in direct construction costs with a total project cost of $36,430,000. Furnishings, and equipment for the project are included in the non-construction costs and are estimated to be $2,917,000. Construction $27,348,000 Non-Construction 9,082,000 Total Project Budget $36,430,000 Budget control is important and must be addressed early in the planning pro cess so that the scope of the undertaking can be matched with the available -53- funds. If any funding deficiencies should be evident, priorities can be elected for scaling back or delaying components of the plan to future phases of implementation. The project has legislatively appropriated funds for planning of $2,120,000. It is assumed that construction funds will be appropriated in 1992 by the Legislature. -54- ·= ~---~_. "':::-,, ..
